Legal Heroes
Robert L. Jennings, Jr.
Bob Jennings is a long term Sierra Club supporter, and former plaintiffs' toxic tort litigator, who spent six years assisting a team of SC attorneys, staff, and key litigators from other environmental groups opposing the Wellington Development waste coal power plant in Greene County, Pennsylvania. After over nine years of opposition to this proposed plant, the formal Plan Approval finally was withdrawn in February of 2014. Bob regularly monitored the endless permitting back-and-forth around this ill-designed project and provided input to major filings and submissions, including one citizens' suit. Bob served as invaluable local counsel alongside key litigators from the Sierra Club, Jim Hecker from Public Justice, Kentucky attorney Robert Ukeiley, Mark Wenzler from the National Parks Conservation Association, and Jon Mueller from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. As a result of these efforts, nearly three million tons of greenhouse gases annually - and a host of toxic air pollutants - will never enter the air in Pennsylvania.
Stephanie Matheny
Stephanie is an attorney with the Tennessee Clean Water Network, where she works on a variety of legal efforts to promote clean water and healthy communities. She has represented the Sierra Club in a number of permit appeals related to surface mining of coal, protection of endangered species, and coal-fired power plants. Stephanie was inspired to work on environmental issues when she moved to Seattle after college, where extensive clear-cuts led her to volunteer for forest conservation groups.
Larry Gibson
Larry Gibson worked tirelessly to open the worlds' eyes to the destruction being wrought on his beloved Appalachian mountains by coal strip mining. Whether traveling the country to share images of devastated mountains and valleys, or bringing visitors past "hell's gate" at his property on Kayford Mountain, West Virginia, to witness the blasted landscape first hand, Larry drove home the horrors of mountaintop removal mining and his conviction that the practice must end. Larry did not allow the constant threats and intimidation he faced to wear him down. His courage and steadfast determination remain a powerful inspiration to everyone who met him. And although Larry did not live to see the end of mountaintop removal mining, his work to spread the word about the terrible practice brought victory much nearer. Larry is missed, but the legacy of his work and passion carry on.
Thomas Y. Au
Thomas Au has worked to help chapter leaders review and change legislation, lobby environmental agencies, and take strong positions on significant environmental issues.
Jane Branham
Growing up in Pound, Virginia, in a family supported by her father's coal mining wages, Jane Branham could not wait to get out of the coalfields and change the world. She lived all over the Southwest and worked as a traveling nurse, but plagued by dreams of her home, she returned to Wise County, Virginia. When she first saw mountaintop removal from the top of Fox Gap, she said to herself "right here is where I need to be changing the world."
Carla Cloer
Carla Cloer's family has lived near California's Sequoia forests for four generations. Carla grew up hiking and riding her horse along the forests trials; to this day she returns every summer to stay in the cabin that her grandfather built. These trips are a source of renewal, a reminder of the beauty and majesty that she has spent much of her life fighting to protect.
Mary Cromer
A native to Pound, Virginia, a small town on the Virginia-Kentucky border, Mary Cromer received her JD from Washington & Lee University School of Law. After law school, Mary clerked for the Honorable Glen Conrad of the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia and worked as an Associate Attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center. Since 2008, Mary has worked as a Staff Attorney for the Appalachian Citizens' Law Center (ACLC), a small non-profit law firm dedicated to protecting coalfield communities and the environment from destructive coal mining practices in Central Appalachia. Situated in the middle of the coalfields in Whitesburg, Kentucky, ACLC is uniquely positioned to work with both national environmental groups and local coal miners and their families on a range of often sensitive environmental and public health issues related to coal mining. Throughout her time with ACLC, Mary has litigated a variety of cases, from representing individuals and families who have lost their well water supplies because of nearby coal mining to fighting pollution from coal mining under national environmental laws.
Aloma Dew, Associate Midwest Representative
Aloma began her work with the Sierra Club as an organizer on water quality issues five years ago. A former adjunct professor of history at Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, Aloma has been involved with environmental issues for years, first as the Environmental Chair and President of the Owensboro League of Women Voters, and later as the governor-appointed chair of the Kentucky Environmental Water Quality Commission.
Jane Feldman
Jane Feldman began her career as an enthusiastic and tenacious Sierra Club volunteer eight years ago, after she retired from her prior career as an Air Force officer. When Jane first became involved with the Sierra Club's Southern Nevada Group, she devoted her energies to protecting habitat and biodiversity in Nevada's sensitive desert ecosystems, which led her to serve as the Group's Conservation Chair and as the Toiyabe Chapter's Conservation Chair. She widened her focus to encompass community health and urban sprawl when a proposed highway widening project threatened the health and quality of life for residents in her Las Vegas community.
Tim Guilfoile
Tim joined the Sierra Club's Water Sentinels Program in 2005 and has served as the program's Deputy Director since 2009. The Sierra Club's Water Sentinels Program is a volunteer based program that works to inform and empower citizens to monitor, protect, and improve their local waterways. With over 51 programs in 20 different states, Water Sentinels provides over 12,000 volunteers with the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors, while tackling complex environmental issues. The program organizes river and stream cleanups, trains citizens to test their local waterways for harmful substances, provides environmental education and outdoor activities for children, and more. Tim works with volunteers and communities across the nation to address a wide range of environmental issues associated with water contamination, from agricultural runoff to sewer overflows to coal mining and more.
Rachel Hooper, Richard Taylor, and Dan Selmi
Two of the Sierra Club Law Program's most remarkable victories of 2006 could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of attorneys Rachel Hooper, Richard Taylor, and Dan Selmi.
These three attorneys each displayed a remarkable level of dedication, persistence, and perseverance in achieving outstanding victories in two Sierra Club lawsuits challenging an ill-conceived water privatization project in Stockton, California, and a massive development proposal that involved building an entire new town between Lake Tahoe and the town of Truckee, California.
Joe Lovett and Jim Hecker
On September 26, 2009, Sierra Club was honored to present attorneys, Joe Lovett of the Appalachian Center for the Economy and Environment and Jim Hecker of Public Justice, with the William O. Douglas award, which recognizes those who have made outstanding use of the judicial/legal process to achieve environmental goals. Working together since 1998, Joe Lovett and Jim Hecker are the two leading legal advocates on the front lines of the fight against the destructive practice of mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia.
Brandt Mannchen
Brandt Mannchen has been an active and dedicated Sierra Club volunteer for over thirty years. Brandt's distinguished history with the Club is marked both by his high level of commitment as well as an impressive breadth of involvement in Club committees and chapter activities. During his tenure, Brandt has served as the Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary of Houston group, he has been on the Executive Committee for both the Houston and Lone Star Chapters, and he has served on committees dealing with a range of issues, from wildlife and endangered species to offshore drilling. Brandt is proud to have worked to contest the first Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency off the Texas coast. In recent years, Brandt has been primarily involved in forestry issues, serving as the Forestry Chair for the Houston Group and the Big Thicket Chair for the Lone Star Chapter.
Mark Martin
Mark's work with the Sierra Club began about three years ago when he teamed up with the Club's Alabama Chapter to remedy chronic pollution problems at the Whitaker Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO). Despite being matched up against a large team of Whitaker corporate attorneys, Mark was able to successfully negotiate a settlement that forces Whitaker to stop illegally dumping hog waste into Alabama waterways, to take measures to reduce odor and prevent polluted runoff, and to protect the ecosystem around the hog factory.
William "Chip" J. Moore III
Chip Moore is attorney in private practice Jacksonville, Florida. He is a graduate of the University of Florida and University of South Carolina School of Law. After clerking for the Honorable Donald S. Russell on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Mr. Moore worked as a trial attorney at U. S. Department of Justice's Environmental Enforcement Section in Washington, D.C. for over five years, where he prosecuted civil environmental enforcement actions on behalf of government under all the major federal statutes, including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, CERCLA and RCRA.
Joan Taylor
Joan Taylor has been a tireless advocate for the California desert since 1970, testifying before congressional committees, working for passage of protective legislation, serving on regional land planning efforts and acting as Club liaison on dozens of lawsuits.
Robert Ukeiley
Robert began his career working with environmental organizations before deciding to head off to law school. After he was armed with his degree, he started out briefly working on international environmental issues like whaling and dolphin protection treaties. He then started working on environmental issues in the U.S. as well as representing individuals who could not afford an attorney before transitioning into the realm of environmental practice. He has now been consistently working in coordination with the Sierra Club for the past seven years.
Anne Woiwode, Mackinac Chapter Director
Anne became a Sierra Club volunteer in 1980 when she moved to Michigan with her husband Tom. Five years later she became staff, and now works with both the state legislative program and the Environmental Protection Education Campaign at the Club.
With all of these years under her belt, Anne has worked on a wide range of issues including forests, sprawl, and, more recently, concentrated animal feeding operations, a.k.a. factory farms. Anne works extensively with the Environmental Law Program to use litigation as a critical tool for saving the environment.
Teri Blanton, Maria Gunnoe, Ann League, and Pete Ramey
Mountaintop removal mining has been described as the "government-sanctioned bombing of Appalachia." However, across the region, growing numbers of local activists are standing up for their communities and demanding that this practice stop. Teri Blanton, Maria Gunnoe, Ann League, and Pete Ramey are four such activists, each working tirelessly to win this decidedly uphill battle.
Robert Graham, Gabrielle Sigel and Allison Torrence
Robert Graham, Gabrielle Sigel and Allison Torrence began working on the Hyperion case in 2008. They represented the Sierra Club in its challenge to the Hyperion Energy Center's PSD air permit. On behalf of the Sierra Club, they prepared detailed technical comments on the proposed permit, participated in a contested case hearing before the South Dakota Board of Minerals and Environment, and appealed the issuance of the permit through the South Dakota state court system. When Hyperion applied for an extension and amendment to its PSD permit in 2010, they did everything again -- comments, contested case hearing and appeal. They appealed the PSD air permit to the South Dakota Supreme Court, where they just recently presented oral arguments on October 3, 2012.
Josh Kratka and Dave Nicholas
Over the past several years, attorneys Josh Kratka and Dave Nicholas have represented the Sierra Club and Environment Texas in a series of groundbreaking lawsuits seeking to hold several of the world's largest oil and chemical companies accountable for millions of pounds of illegal air pollution each year along Texas's Gulf Coast.

To Market, To Market, To Buy a Sick Dog
In site of recent federal regulations cracking down on Internet puppy sales, many puppy mill owners aren't giving up so easily, taking advantage of a loophole that allows direct, in-person sales of the often sick and neglected dogs. An HSUS investigation has uncovered a worrisome venue for puppy millers--local flea markets, which have long gone unwatched and unregulated.

To make the body use Sculpey® III Chocolate. Make an oval and pinch both sides on top to create two ears and flatten the bottom so that the owl can stand up.
Using Sculpey® III Candy Pink, make two ovals and flatten them on your work surface. Use your fingers to shape the rounded edges and bring the other ends to a point for the wings.
Using Sculpey® III Candy Pink, shape a flat circle and cut off top part, using flat edge of plastic tool, for the tummy.
Using Sculpey® III Chocolate, make two small ovals and flatten the bottom for the feet.
Using Sculpey® III Black, make two tiny balls for the center of the eyes.
Using Sculpey® III Sky Blue, make two small round balls and flatten them for the eyes.

Assemble Owl as shown. Attach wings, eyes, beak, tummy and feet by pressing firmly together.
Bake in home oven for 30 minutes at 275° F.

Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints Pick
The Atlanta Falcons are unbeaten halfway through the season. Atlanta has been a great regular season team over the last couple years, but they haven't been able to have any success in the playoffs. The Falcons are looking to put it all together this year. The team they take on this week may be 3-5, but the New Orleans Saints are clearly a very dangerous team. Look for a great game in the SuperDome this Sunday.

David Villa's Sends Portugal Home
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
And then there were eight. The first round of the knockout stage of the World Cup is completed, and thanks to David Villa's second half goal — courtesy of some fantastic passing in close quarters — Portugal will not be participating in the 2010 World Cup any longer. So long, Cristiano. Sorry there were no nifty eye-winks for you to enjoy this time out.
For what it's worth, Villa's finish also deserves a wink, if, for nothing else, just how sublime the passes that freed him to score were. Villa's sticktoitiveness should also get a great deal of credit, because his first shot attempt was deflected nicely by Eduardo, the Portuguese goalkeeper. The second attempt? Not so much:
Next up for Spain is Paraguay, who beat Japan after winning their penalty shoot-out. If Spain continues their advancement towards the final and beats Paraguay, the winner of the Argentina/Germany game awaits.
The idea of that game, alone, is enough for me to root for Spain over the Paraguayans. On the other hand, however, if the Larissa-Riquelme-will-run-naked rumor is true, perhaps I should change allegiances.

Mission of the League of Humane Voters
The purpose of the League of Humane Voters (LOHV) is to support the election of candidates for public office who have a humane orientation indicated by their willingness to support animal rights issues. We are an electioneering organization formed to bring about the election of candidates pledged to support animal rights legislation.
How LOHV Accomplishes Its Goals
The League of Humane Voters establishes and maintains a database of names and addresses of voters who have an animal rights orientation in the districts in which the league operates.
The League identifies prospective candidates for local office Samara James , a who are deserving of our support. If the candidates indicate goal-congruency with our issues, we offer to support them by doing a mailing to the voters in their districts. We ask the candidates to make a public statement acknowledging our support of their candidacy and their support for humane legislation.
After the candidate is elected we lobby the office-holder on bills that have an animal rights impact.

Has all the options I needed as well as the attachements and aso. Unit shipped well and was easy to install. I had 30 gallons of rodi water in about 8 hours. Thank you BRS for the great customer service! John Value Plus - no question it is! By MMM on 12/9/13 MMM would recommend this product to a friend A) this was my first BRS order - shipped fast, packed well B) When they say value plus what they really mean is you are getting one heck of a value. How many RO/DI units priced at this level come equipped as well as this thing? Very few, in fact I didnt find one and have been looking for a while. C) 75 GPD my butt! I am sure its because I have great water pressure (just over 80 psi) but I can make about 20 gallons in about 2.5-3 hours. My old 75gpd took much longer - nearly double D) Sturdy mounting kit, length of line more than enough, TDS Meter, valves, shut off and flush kit all work great E) Wish I had bought this a long time ago - I got it on the black friday doorbuster sale but even at the regular price it is still an awesome deal. got the best deal By big sweaty d on 12/6/13 big sweaty d would recommend this product to a friend well i just opened the ro di system i got on sale for 140. I hooked it up to my faucet then hooked it up to my float valve and tried to see if the waste line would stop flowing but it didnt i dont know if it is defaulty. The system is a good 12-15 pound and very heavy duty. I didnt change the hoses but if the auto shut off valve is broke i hope brs sends me one and i dont have send the whole system back Great Product and features... Couldn't be happier! By Rogeman on 12/5/13 Rogeman would recommend this product to a friend Everything was packaged well, put together properly and is now producing 0 TDS RO/DI water, my fish thank you and my back thanks you as well, no more 5 gallon jugs!!! Don't forget to order your valves, Tees, elbows, floats, and extra line for your custom set-up. I was reading some earlier reviews, and there is some confusion out there; The duel in-line TDS meter is reading after the RO membrane(In) and then after the DI stage (Out). It does not measure tap water TDS. The best!!!!! By Travis on 12/5/13 Travis would recommend this product to a friend This is the by far best quality ro system i have ever owned. Had this thing running in minutes after opening box. No leaks no problems at 90 psi it makes about 6 gal an hour very nice. Excellent product very easy install By robert on 12/1/13 robert would recommend this product to a friend I just got the BRS 75 gallon ro/di plus system and could not be happier. Comes fully assembled very easy install. Makes perfect 0 TDS water. My water pressure is just above 40 psi and i didn't need to get a booster pump to get good flow. I've had great results with BRS. so far so goooood By warrior reefer on 11/27/13 warrior reefer would recommend this product to a friend look really reliable, super easy to install and really good water quality , my corals star looking happier, but no matter is to early for a review , is easy to see the quality . highly recommended... Excellent By Monster on 11/20/13 Monster would recommend this product to a friend Nice and easy to install... I had it mounted, up and running in less than an hour... Performs as advertised! Works great! By C on 11/19/13 C would recommend this product to a friend Only disappointment is that the sink adapter that was sent to me was bent. I just went to Home Depot and got an adapter for the hose fitting and hooked that up to my sink. Great product By small_fry_keeper on 11/12/13 small_fry_keeper would recommend this product to a friend Took me longer to get it out of the box than to get it going. Very very happy should have got one years ago my cat fish are super happy to have good water... Great Product By Kevin on 11/9/13 Kevin would recommend this product to a friend Simple to hook up and meets its rated output @ 60 PSI water pressure. Installation instructions are clear and well illustrated with photos. The pressure gauge and TDS meter are easy to read. Great Value all around. It would be nice if they offered an permanent connection kit as well. Luckily the local big box had a knowledgeable plumbing guy. 3 new parts and 30 minutes later, it is permanently connected under my laundry sink. Unit leaked on arrival By Dave on 11/8/13 Dave wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Two separate tubes were leaking badly when i hooked the unit up. When I took it apart both tubes had been scratched/damaged prior to assembly. Once I replaced the tubes no more leaks. Just sloppy build quality. Excellent By Josh on 10/28/13 Josh would recommend this product to a friend Very durable and well made. Couldn't be happier with the shipping and handling. Great item By Fitz on 10/22/13 Fitz would recommend this product to a friend Easy set up, plug and play really. Just put fitting on faucet, push red hose in and turn on water. It works great and the waste water is great for the garden or pets. Great but I'm also unsure about the TDS meter... By David on 10/9/13 David would recommend this product to a friend Everything was easy to deal with and set up. I had it under my bathroom sink with the quick-release for the faucet but then decided to permanently hook it up under my kitchen sink. I spent a lot of time figuring out plumbing parts (such as a saddle valve for my output tube) but that has nothing to do with the unit itself. I've been using it since and definitely recommend. Just as MCOLON mentions in the 9/30/2013 review, the attached TDS meter reads a single-digit number for the tap water going in and 0 for the RO/DI output. Maybe he can update when/if he uses a different TDS meter to compare. If I do the same I'll try to update this review.... Great product By Monica on 10/3/13 Monica would recommend this product to a friend Had this thing running in no time. Worth every penny. It's so much easier making my own water and cheaper in the long run. BRS is the best. Exactly what i expected it to do at an awesome price. By Mcolon on 9/30/13 Mcolon would recommend this product to a friend got this hooked up and running in about 20 minutes or so and it is working perfectly, the only thing that I cannot figure out is the TDS meter, its reading 008 in the input side and 000 on the output side, I would've expected the input side to be higher, so i'm not sure if its really working or not. Other than that I am happy with this product. I will have my tap water tested with a different / Hand held TDS meter to verify the readings. Great product By Jeromi on 9/29/13 Jeromi would recommend this product to a friend I had bought a cheap RO unit on Ebay and when it was time to replace the filters, I decided to go with this unit. Night and day difference. This product is so easy to use and set up that I wish I would have just went with this in the beginning. great product! Simplistic Perfection By James on 9/28/13 James would recommend this product to a friend The BRS 4 Stage Value PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD system is HANDS DOWN AWESOME. I just received it in the mail, and within about 5 minutes I had it hooked up to my laundry room sink and cycling. If you are looking for a great quality, sturdy built RO/DI system, this is it! Thanks BRS, will definitely be doing business with you again! compared to others.... By Richard on 9/21/13 Richard would recommend this product to a friend Compared to others I've used, this works great, especially for the money. Simple and effective. Not super fast but works great. Replacement cost is also great. Produces 0 TDS water Fast By Jim on 9/15/13 Jim would recommend this product to a friend This unit produces 0 TDS water quickly. I set up a Brute NSF approved trash can with a float switch and always have RODI water on hand. The built in TDS meter is a plus and it reads the same as my handheld. fine product -- great support By geno on 9/15/13 geno would recommend this product to a friend I replaced an older RO/DI unit with a new one from BRS. I had a little problem at first -- the unit did not seem to be producing per specs. I emailed BRS and received prompt and courteous replies. After a few days the unit worked as intended. I wish I had found BRS earlier!!! By Drew on 9/14/13 Drew would recommend this product to a friend I shudder to think how much time and money I have spent on bottled water over the years as both a reef and planted tank fanatic. Acquiring the technical proficiency needed to conquer the aspects of proper lighting, filtration, etc. came easy over the course of my hobby, however RODI was always an elusive mystery to me. Enter BRS with their killer videos discussing RODI unit construction, available options and installation demonstrations. The unit was a breeze to install, worked immediately and I couldn't be happier. The initial investment will pay itself back in less than a year and I have conquered another frontier of the hobby. You have a customer for life. Outstanding! By Deb on 9/1/13 Deb would recommend this product to a friend My first one and soooo easy to use! Excellent product! Great investment By Mark on 9/1/13 Mark would recommend this product to a friend If you decide to go with an RO/DI, this is the way to go! Already assembled and ready to go right out of the box. BRS hits it outta the park again! Great Product By JC on 9/1/13 JC would recommend this product to a friend Very nice and easy to install! I only wish that it produced less waste water. All very worth the buy. Awesome quality product !! By Dr.Chaka on 8/28/13 Dr.Chaka would recommend this product to a friend Is the first time that I'm purchase an equipment like this one. I made a test of the quality of the water and is impressive the difference between a regular filter and this one. I think and hope that my fishes and corals will enjoy this quality of water. Is a great high quality product. Thanks !!! Highly Recommended By JB on 8/24/13 JB would recommend this product to a friend Shopped various web sites and Brick-n-Mortar stores to find this was the best value for the money. Installation was a snap - it's truly plug and play and unlike many other systems everything needed is included. 79 TDS from the tap, .05 TDS after RO and ZERO TDS after DI. Perfect water for not only my reef tank but for my coffee machine too. Considering the cost of purchasing water this unit will pay for itself within just a few short calendar weeks. Awesome ROI! awesome RO/DI unit, and great price too By Bradley on 8/23/13 Bradley would recommend this product to a friend Great unit for a great price! Was up and running about 5 minutes after opening the package great product and super fast shiping By balu on 8/16/13 balu would recommend this product to a friend I bought this Ro/DI unit on a wednesday and i received it on the following friday, super fast.

Just want I needed, a great RO system. By Rocky 298 on 8/15/13 Rocky 298 would recommend this product to a friend I alway's use tap water until a friend inform me, that I should invest in a RO system.

But there appears to be no evidence Yeats ever wrote it.
Yeats scholars on both sides of the Atlantic could find no trace of the often-quoted 14 words in databases that catalog writing produced by the poet, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923.
Margaret Mills Harper, Glucksman Professor of Contemporary Writing in English at the University of Limerick in Ireland, searched for the line in a database of Yeats' published works, concordances to his poems and plays, and the electronic version of his complete letters.
"It's not in any of those places," she wrote in an email.
That was echoed by George Bornstein, a University of Michigan professor emeritus with an extensive list of publishing credits on Yeats and his poetry. He searched twice for the line in electronic records, without success.
"Maybe it is misattributed to Yeats," Bornstein suggested in an email, noting that similar sentiments on education were expressed by classical biographer Plutarch, among others.
Plutarch said, "The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled," though that wording can vary in different translations.
The White House did not respond to a query about the source of the quotation that Obama attributed to Yeats in 2011 remarks at the White House, according to a transcript.
Brown credited the line to Yeats in a speech last week in Sacramento. His office pointed to online sources when asked about the validity of the quotation.
Yeats has been widely credited with the line used in speeches by politicians and educators, and even on a pillar at a North Carolina library.
Members of the W.B. Yeats Society of N.Y., an organization devoted to the poet's life and work, judged the quote of dubious authenticity after scouting Yeats writing and scholarship.
It's not uncommon for literary reputations to mingle with myth. Mark Twain was often credited with saying, "Whiskey is for drinking but water is worth fighting over," a remark also found to be of questionable legitimacy.
Yeats Society president Andrew McGowan said in a statement it was possible the education remark was "table talk" written down by someone else. "But the likelihood of that seemed weak," he said.
"This is like the line, 'A stranger is a friend we haven't met yet' that I'm told every Irish school child is taught Yeats said," McGowan added. "No evidence for it."

I seriously doubt that this is different. I doubt that the either the House or Senate will resurrect the dead, failed, foolish, ineffective ´ban-on-scary-looking-rifles´.The reports of all past blue ribbon commissions that I can think of were ignored in their entirety.Biden is such a buffoon and he is the one to bring gravitas to this issue? Ridicule, more likely.I really think that the only solution that might have any significant impact is to ease the limits on involuntary committment of lunatics.

Kneejerk liberals are always going to do what they´re going to do,that is have the government step in on everything. They were claiming the other day that there´s been a 5% drop in childhood obesity already giving MO´s program the credit. Then they had to admit most of it was upper income white kids who were shedding the pounds,not the poverty stricken overweight kids.Then you hear 2012 was the warmest year on record,giving the changers even more fodder for their lunacy.Guess they haven´t been to the sunny skies of Russia lately.Oncethe emotional aspect of this school shooting calms down,people with sense know the problem isn´t gunsbut a more and more unhinged culture being fed by uncivilized left wingers..If a republican made a death threat it would make front page news,when a lefty does it,it just shows their passion for the issue.Nobody´s making a big deal out of a 49% drop in the prosecution of gun crimes since Obama took office because they mostly affect his voting base.

There are thousands and thousands of gun laws on the books in this country. What could possibly be added that could have prevented the Newtown Ct. tragedy? I am sure that the situation that existed has alerady been covered in one of the thousands of laws. His Mother was irresponsible in HER handling of her guns. She is at fault for this tragedy. If her guns had been properly secured, no tragedy. The son also should have been committed to an institution. I thank liberal democRATS for making sure that they are out walking the streets. I remember when Gov. Cuomo freed all of the state hospital patients saying that they should be mainstreamed. Thanks Mario.

Poster 36, do you have a source for your information, or is it just speculation?It is possible that all of the guns (or other weapons) were securely locked in a gun safe. I´ve not not either way from the police investigators, have you heard there was no gun safe in the home?It is possible that Adam, for some unknown reason, or the rumored reason that his mother was seeking to move him from his familiar basement, and he attacked and overpowered her, obtained the gun safe key retrieved the "secured" guns, then went back to her bedroom and shot her multiple times. I haven´t heard an autopsy report on Mrs. Lanza (I don´t expect to, it shouldn´t be public) to know if she had other injuries in addition to the gun shot wounds.To expound upon poster #7´s comments, that argument is a straw man, a keynote indicator of Duh Wun´s participation. He knows he doesn´t hold popular political positions, so he states something that no serious person would ever support, then proceeds to argue against what no one wants. It´s been a win-win for him, demonize the opposition and appear to be "wise" and "presidential."

High school musical offers unique twist
Theatre: Foothills fine arts production bringing audience on the stage
By: Tammy Rollie
| Posted: Wednesday, Dec 18, 2013 06:00 am
Anyone planning to take in this winter's high school musical theatre could find their literacy skills put to the test in a most public platform.
The Alberta High School of Fine Arts' upcoming two-act comedy "The 25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" will bring three unsuspecting audience members onto the stage alongside the high school's 10 actors each night as contestants in the spelling bee when the production hits the school's stage in the new year.
"I will, in conjunction with the comfort counselor, scope three people in the audience to bring on the stage," said artistic and technical director James Keary. "They will be called up intermittently with the other spellers in the bee and will be asked to spell a word."
Keary said those wanting to enjoy the performance just as spectators need not worry, those selected can opt out.
This is the first time the school's musical theatre is bringing audience members on stage and Keary said he knew it would take big talent to pull it off.
"Because of our talent pool with the strength of students who have been in our program the last couple of years we really wanted to focus this year on characterization and building that strength because we know there's a number of our students this year compared to other years who most likely will be pursuing performance-based art program this year," he said. "We as directors know their degree of commitment from the previous shows."
Grade 12 student Will Carr, who wants to pursue a career in musical theatre, is perfecting his role as a high-achieving former spelling bee champion.
"The stronger your character the easier it is to improvise in that character," he said. "It all takes practice. We are going to be bringing in people who have not seen the script into our rehearsals so we can work with them."
This role is a new challenge for Carr, who performed in numerous plays, attended acting camps and took part in acting workshops.
"Everyone I talked to in the theatre community around Alberta says it's a great show and it really gets the audience involved," he said. "Even though I've done improvisation in the past I've never implemented it into the show."
The biggest challenge for Carr is the musical numbers. With just two years singing experience he found a voice coach to help perfect his performance.
"The male vocals are always quite high," he said. "I'm really working on opening up and using my technique and enhancing what I can do. It's really pushing my range of what I've done in the past."
Grant Taggart, also in Grade 12, had to dig deep for his character – a contestant with ADHD who was brought into the bee unexpectedly and doesn't expect to spell one word correctly.
This is Taggart's second performance with the school's musical theatre.
"There is so much to (my character)," he said. "You've got to really dig to get everything out of him. Once you really have the character down it's not really what should I do in this position but more what would my character do."
Taggart said he's confident the cast of 10 will do just fine when it's time to perform.
"Everybody was picked very well for our characters," he said. "It was a long process as far as auditioning went. We really stand out well and really work well together."
Taggart said he is glad to be among the talented cast.
"I had always been fond of acting," he said. "I wanted to act since I was very young. I thought it would be a good thing to try out to see how it went and it just kind of stuck on me."
With the performance more than a month away, Keary said there is still a lot to do.
"Come the end of December our show is really done as far as most of the rehearsal musically and developmentally," he said. "When we get back after the holidays we use that time to polish. That's why we put on the caliber and quality of shows we do because of the polishing process. The students keep pushing us directors to bring the bar up."
When the cast, seven band students performing the musical numbers and technical crew return to school following the Christmas break in early January, Keary will give his usual pep talk.
"One of the things I talk to them about mostly in January is about making the magic happen on stage," he said. "Not just for the audience being engaged in the show and the spectacle of the show but making the magic happen for who they are as actors or musicians or technicians developing their crafts."
Performances take place on Jan. 31, Feb. 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $20 and $25 on the closing night where food will be provided. To purchase tickets call 403-540-6574.

Here is a great article by Brett and Kate McKay that stresses the importance of studying the context of a photo. Specifically ownership and time period. Without studying these variables, the photos in the article would present a much different "picture" than what was intended.

Best Phở (Noodle soup) in the cities! – The last review here complains that the food was greasy and the service terrible. Whoever wrote that should understand that if you dont want greasy food, dont order things cooked in grease.! Wontons, eggrolls and fried rice are all FRIED! Hello?
I have not had bad service there because i go to eat - not to snack or hang out - plus the place is very popular with U of Mn students and staff so it is usually pretty busy - SO of course you can split orders as well as checks - but a half order of fried rice or eggrolls or wontons? They are the cheapest things on the menu! Eesh get a clue.
NOW - As far as the Phở goes, the broth is such a wonderfully complex combination of flavors that it seems each bite you notice a spice you had not noticed in the previous one. They serve it with a variety of sauces and veggies so you can season it to your personal taste. If you are real hungry you can order the large bowl (Which is almost twice the size) for a dollar more. If you havn't had Phở before try the "Phở Thai" - no surprises, just nice thin lean beef and noodles. Wow. Now I'm hungry. Oh and it shows up in less than 5 minutes. Hows that for service?
OH AND - If you don't like hot soup in the heat of the summer order one of their Bun salads (Chilled noodles with lots of crunchy veggies) My favorite is the "Bun Tom" Sauteed Shrimp... Yum.
horrible experience horrible food. – I went in for the first time today with a friend. We are polite girls and the waiter was just rude. He might have been the only one on? which is ridiculously bad management. Regardless, we had asked him if we could do half orders which is normal for some restaraunts and he yelled at us "NO"! this went on the entire night when we ordered the wontons and egg rolls. Both were swimming in grease and deep fried, this isn't the state fair! the fried rice was absolutely repusive. The meat wasn't cooked, it was also swimming in grease. Before leaving we had asked the waiter if he could take the rice off our bill since we each had a fork fill, literally that is it, he immediately said no. We asked for a manager and he said she just left. So we asked if he could call her and ask about the situation. He said he refused to bother her and if we wanted to we could do that on our own time. It was the WORST experience I have ever had. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. I wonder if the high prestige and decorations is a cover up for the bad food?? wouldn't doubt it.
I went to Bona a few years ago and was not that impressed with the food. When I went back the other day I was really impressed. My service was great, my food came out quickly, and my food was delicious. I got the Banh Xeo, which is a vietnamese pancake dish, it was excellent. Not many vietnamese restaurants have this dish so I was surprised to see it on the menu, and was really happy to taste how good it was. The server kept my water full the whole time and was there when I needed things. The atmosphere is nothing to brag about, but it was very clean and well lit. I will definitely be going back to Bona to get more Banh Xeo. And to top it all off my meal was under 10 dollars including tip.
Fast and Tasty – Super fast lunch service, also reasonably priced. Awesome egg rolls. Parking is the only issue, make sure to park at meters or in designated spaced or you will be towed.
One must have meal – Service and atmosphere is nothing special, but you have to try BUN H. Quickly became one of my must have craves.
Tired of the Same 'Ole Stir Fry? – My husband & I have been going to Bona for 20 years (since our college days). This is where people of Vietnamese heritage go to eat Vietnamese food. We only order off of the "Traditional" menu. The first time I ate there I thought that the food was too authentic for my taste (I was accustom to American stir-fry and other restaurants do stir-fry better than Bona). A month later we went back to Bona and I developed a palate for true Vietnamese food very quickly.
Try the crab meat rangoons (children love these) and Traditional F or G if you are a new to all of this. The spring rolls with peanut sauce are to die for! The egg rolls are the best in the state. The Traditional Y soup is also extremely tasty. Be sure to add the lime for a true taste experience. (I eat it in the summer, but it is exceptionally good on a cold MN day.) If you do not know how to eat something be sure to ask or just look around (Yes, the greens do go on top of the soup and the fish oil goes on top of the noodles). Bona's dipping sauces are exceptional.
Lunch time is pretty crazy at Bona - lots of people, lots of food flying out very quickly. The service is not focused on being personable - it is focused on getting you in and out very fast. I do prefer the evening as it is less harried. We always stop by Bona when we are running late to the theater or need good (and inexpensive) food in a hurry. You are seated, served and have an appetizer literally within minutes; your main course and check come a few minutes after that. I never feel pressured to eat in a hurry or leave if I am not ready too, however it is nice to have the option if I need it.
*Note: Be sure to park appropriately or you will get clamped by the other restaurants (They have spies sitting concealed in the parking lot - no kidding). I learned this lesson one day when we parked 2 spots into Stub & Herbs space! No one was around and I just ran in to pick up an order. It cost me $96 cash, on-the-spot, to get my car back.
Best food you'll ever eat! – This is the my favorite place to eat. They have great service and great food. I would recommend the egg rolls and the Bun Bowel (letter H on the menu). You will fall in love with this place and always want to go back.
horrible food, awful service – I tried Bona because of recommendations, both on here and from some co-workers. I was quite disappointed. It took 10 minutes for anyone to come and take our order. A group who arrived after we arrived were served before we were (you would think it would be faster and easier to serve 2 people rather than a group). Five minutes after receiving our food, we received our check. It was also the time that a waiter (not our waiter) came by and swiped the pho condiments from our table, even though I had barely started eating my pho. I ordered the pho dac biet (special), which was nothing special. The soup tasted salty and it had more noodles than toppings. The basil leaves that came with the pho were BLACK and inedible. I couldn't salvage a single leaf. The husband had sweet & sour chicken lunch special, which came with exactly 4 pieces of chicken. We counted. The fried rice was just that -- rice that had been fried. There was nothing in it, except later on, the husband found a piece of eggshell in his rice. Needless to say, we will not be back. Try Village Wok, Hong Kong Noodles, or even Lotus (crappy service, but at least the food was better than Bona's).
funky atmosphere, and great Pho! easy parking on evenings and weekends! – Bona is great authentic Vietnamese quisine. The atmosphere is mondern asian, not your typical asian decor this is modern and funky, great art pieces. The staff are really friendly and attentive. They have 8-10 parking spots and meatered parking abounds. most evenings parking is not an issue at all! this is a really busy place during the workday lunch hour as it is right in the U of M village area at oak and washington, so parking might be more difficult then. but otherwise no problem. they have great Pho! so definately give it a try!
Wonderful variety of food, clean, great presentation and good service. – Bona's egg rolls are "bonafide" brilliance. They're crispy and light and clearly someone in back knows how they're done. I had a barbequed pork dish that I remember well fondly from the first time I went. I'm going back to pick up a bunch of takeout for my department at the U (staying late tonight). And I'd give Bona 5 stars but it's a late day not to have a website. I take a full star off for their not having a menu to view on the internet. I'm going to be ordering for 5 and I'm kind of mad at Bona that I can't print off menus for my co-workers. Otherwise, they get a thumbs up.

Oily Fish Can Reduce Risk of Developing Age-Related Macular DegenerationPosted: Wednesday, October 08, 2008
Eating oily fish containing docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid at least once a week appears to decrease the risk of developing wet age-related macular degeneration by half, according to a large population-based study.
Working at seven centers across Europe, Cristina Augood, MD, and colleagues with the European Eye Study (EUREYE) group evaluated the possible association between dietary docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid both found in oily fish and AMD among 105 patients with wet AMD and a control group of 2,170 participants without AMD. All patients underwent fundus photography and were interviewed using a food-frequency questionnaire to measure nutrient intake.
Participants were at least 65 years old at baseline.
The investigators found that 64% of the study population consumed oily fish less than once per week, 25% consumed oily fish once per week and 12% consumed oily fish at least twice weekly.
Compared with participants who ate oily fish less than once per week, eating oily fish at least once per week reduced the risk of developing neovascular AMD by half (P = .002), the authors noted.
After adjusting for energy, the investigators found that dietary intake of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid was associated with a reduced risk of neovascular AMD (P = .01).
The odds ratio for developing neovascular AMD among patients in the highest quartile of docosahexaenoic acid intake was 0.32 (P = .03); the odds ratio for disease developments among patients in the highest quartile of eicosapentaenoic acid intake was 0.29 (P = .02), according to the study.
"Compared with the lowest quartile, there was a significant trend for decreased odds with increasing quartiles of either [docosahexaenoic acid[ or [eicosapentaenoic acid]."

The ASCP Bylaws provide for 14 elected members on the Board of Directors: 4 officers (president, chairman of the board, president-elect, and secretary-treasurer) and 10 directors (2 elected from each of ASCP's 5 regions). All board members are elected by the ASCP membership except for the secretary-treasurer who is elected by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Executive Director/CEO serves as an ex officio, non-voting member of the Board.
Nominations Process
Each year ASCP seeks eligible and qualified candidates for the Society's Board of Directors for each of six (6) positions: president-elect, and five (5) of the director positions. Once elected to president-elect, this person automatically moves to president and then to chairman of the board. The Nominating Committee is appointed by the president in late summer, and ASCP issues a call for nominations due December 31st of eligible and qualified candidates for the Society's Board of Directors. The following are considered by the ASCP Nominating Committee in selecting candidates to stand for election:
To submit your name for consideration for election to the ASCP Board of Directors, or to suggest a candidate for nomination, please provide full name, contact information, and position sought (president-elect, or director) to ASCP's Leadership Coordinator, Heather Dyson, at email@example.com, or phone 703-739-1316 x-147.
Online election opens mid-May
The election slate is finalized by the Nominating Committee around February 1st. The Election Bulletin -- with candidate's photograph, biographical sketch, and responses to two questions -- is posted and online balloting begins in May for all ASCP members who are eligible to vote.
Voting by online ballots must be completed by June 28 in order to be counted in the official results.
Election results announced in early July
Once the election results are officially tallied, the outcome is communicated to the Chairman of the Nominating Committee and the Executive Director/CEO. Vote counts are never announced. The Chairman of the Nominating Committee first notifies all candidates of the outcome of the election, and only then is the outcome announced to the membership at large. New board members begin serving after their installation during a general session at the annual meeting in November.
